Is it me, or has Simon Le Bon gained a fair bit of weight? That's what it looked like to me during those close ups on the Live 8 highlight show during "Save A Prayer" in Rome. Has he let himself go, or is it just simply age? I mean, the guys are getting on a bit (and there were some true *fossils* in this highlight program too), most of the musicians I like are in that category, but he looks like your typical middle aged British guy now, not superstar Simon Le Bon. That said, he still looks pretty good for however old he must be, so I guess it shouldn't matter too much. Maybe I am wrong, as I look through photos of the gig on a fansite, as they have pictures with a different profile, adn a short sleeved shirt, and now I think it may be the opposite of letting himself go...I think that maybe the bulk is from working out or something, because it seems only in the upper body, and his arms look pretty muscular. The pictures do give me a different perspective now.



What do you think?

Maybe it's a combo of the two weight gain factors. Maybe he was gaining the bad kind of weight and then went about changing it by doing weight trainging stuff?

He looks more rugged and less 80s pretty boy though.

John Taylor was always my favorite. =D

I can't belive the original Duran Duran got back together. And Pink Floyd. Hell has frozen over.

Nah, Hell would really have frozen over if the origional Smiths got back together, but I can't see that happening after all the bitterness between the members.

Yeah, I am guessing the same thing...like he knew he was aging and it was showing, and he decided to work out to counteract it, or slow it down, etc.
